Double Tap's .38 Special +P 110 grain Colt Defense load is engineered to give revolver carriers the stopping power of a +P load without excessive recoil that throws follow-up shots off target. The 110 grain bullet weight keeps things manageable in compact and snubnose revolvers while the +P pressure boost gets velocity and energy where they need to be for street-reliable performance.
Double Tap's approach sets them apart in the ammo world. Every single cartridge is handled and inspected by hand before it gets packed, not just run through machines. That means you're getting ammunition that's been checked for assembly errors that machines miss. The company's founder prioritizes terminal ballistics testing in ordnance gelatin and loads to SAAMI specifications across their entire line.
This load is tuned for actual snubnose and compact revolver performance. Testing shows 1250 feet per second from a 4-inch Ruger GP-100 and 1125 from a 1.875-inch S&W, generating 382 ft-lbs and 305 ft-lbs respectively. Out of ballistic gelatin backed by denim and light cotton, the bullet achieves 13.25 inches of penetration with .57-inch expansion, the balance you want in a defensive round. The lead-free solid copper hollow point construction eliminates overpenetration concerns while delivering the expansion needed for effectiveness.
If you're carrying a .38 Special revolver and want ammunition designed specifically for that platform, this load respects the reality of short-barrel ballistics while maximizing what the cartridge can do. Not every defensive load understands that revolvers are different from semi-autos, but Double Tap does.
Only if your revolver is rated for +P loads. Check your firearm's manual or markings to confirm +P capability before using this ammunition. Standard .38 Special revolvers without +P rating should not fire +P ammunition. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer of your revolver.
The +P designation means this ammunition runs at higher pressure than standard .38 Special, generating more velocity and energy from the same 110 grain bullet. This translates to better performance from shorter barrels, which is why it's popular in snubnose and compact carry revolvers. The tradeoff is slightly more recoil than standard loads.
This load is specifically designed and priced as a defensive cartridge. While you can technically use it for target practice, it's best reserved for carry or home defense rounds. The price point makes it less economical for range shooting compared to full-value target loads.
The solid copper construction eliminates lead exposure during handling and shooting. Lead-free ammunition has become standard in defensive loads due to health and environmental considerations. This design also provides reliable expansion performance without depending on lead core dynamics.
